having oblique arms E E extending inwardly therefrom, said arms of one beam `being adjustably secured upon those of the other, as illustrated in Figs. l and 2.

' Secured to the upper face of each beam D is a plate, F, that has a anged segmental inner edge, G, and fast on 'each plate is an angleiron, H, the vertical portion of which is con- Vex upon its inner face. The plates FF serve as head-blocks, and are arranged to be on opposite sides of and equidistant from the center position on the carriage, it lies at an angle of forty-five degrees to the plane of the saws K,

and is retained in this position by the arcshaped shoulders a and concave recesses b in its ends, respectively engaging the flanges G of the plates F and the vertical convex portions ot' the angle-irons H, secured to said plates, it being understood that the shoulders and recesses above mentioned have been made by another machine.

nation of suitable saws, a carriage, and two head-blocks, respectively secured to each side beam of the carriage on opposite sides of and equidistant from the center thereof, whereby a timber in position to be operated upon will lie at an angle of forty-tive degrees to the plane of the saws, substantially as set forth.

2. In a wood-working machine, the combination of suitable saws, a carriage, two headblocks each comprising a plate secured to a side beam of the carriage and provided with a flanged segmental inner edge, and anraugleiron fast on the plate, and having a convex inner face upon its vert-ical portion, said headblocks being respectively arranged on opposite sides of and equidistant from the center of said carriage, substantially as set forth.
